FIELD

The present invention relates to a bit decomposition secure computation apparatus, bit combining secure computation apparatus, method and program.

BACKGROUND

A secure computation scheme is a technology that can allow a computer system to conceal computation process and result against related parties. By performing secret sharing of data to store shares in a plurality of servers managed by a third party such as a cloud, it is possible to execute any operation on the data. Since data, computation process, and computation result are not known to the third party, the secure computation can be used, as an example, for outsourcing of analysis processing or the like of sensitive information such as personal information, though not limited thereto.

The following describes secure computation using replication type secret shared (hereinafter referred to as (2, 3) type RSS) having (2, 3) threshold access structure, as a premise of the present invention that relates to a secure computation using (2, 3) type RSS.

(2, 3) threshold type RSS is one of implementation methods of (2, 3) secret sharing schemes. The (2, 3) secret sharing scheme is a scheme such that three items of share information are generated from input values, and from one or less items of share information, an original information is not known, while the original value can be reconstructed from two or more items of share information.

In (2, 3) type RSS, in secret sharing of a value x of from 0 to p−1 or less, a set of three values r1, r2, and r3 each from 0 to p−1 or less such that x=r1+r2+r3 mod p, is generated, and, as three items of sharing information, three tuples are used, wherein the three tuples each have two values selected from (r1, r2, r3), different to each other, thereby implementing (2, 3) secret sharing. It is noted that p is called a modulus.

A method for executing computation on shares distributed by secret sharing without reconstruction is called secure computation. The following describes a secure computation method for a value shared (distributed) with the (2, 3) RSS scheme that relates to the present invention.

First, a sharing method of a value will be described, and then addition, subtraction, and multiplication will be described. Here, a procedure will be described in which a plurality of values each are shared by three apparatuses and secure computation is performed on the shares (share values). Here, three apparatuses are distinguished by calling them apparatus 1, apparatus 2, and apparatus 3.

<Value-Sharing Scheme>

In secret-sharing of a value w of 0 or more and less than p, where p is an integer of 2 or more, r1, r2, and r3 that are randomly selected so as to satisfy w=r1+r2+r3 mod p are generated and stored as follows. The apparatus 1 stores (r1, r2) in a storage thereof as a share value of w. The apparatus 2 stores (r2, r3) in a storage thereof as a share value of w. The apparatus 2 stores (r3, r1) in a storage thereof as a share value of w.

It can be confirmed that w cannot be obtained in any one of the parties (apparatuses 1 to 3) because each of the parties lacks one of r1, r2, and r3, but w can be reconstructed from share values stored in two or more parties.

<Addition Processing>

The following describes an addition processing executed with respect to sharing of a value w and a value w′ stored in a distributed manner in the apparatus 1, the apparatus 2, and the apparatus 3, by the above-described method. Here, it is assumed that r1, r2, and r3 are randomly selected to satisfy w=r1+r2+r3 mod p, and r1′, r2′, and r3′ are randomly selected to satisfy w′=r1′+r2′+r3′ mod p.

The apparatus 1 stores (s1, t1)=(r1, r2) as a share value of w and (s1′, t1′)=(r1′, r2′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 2 stores (s2, t2)=(r2, r3) as a share value of w and (s2′, t2′)=(r2′, r3′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 3 stores (s3, t 3)=(r3, r1) as a share value of w and (s3′, t 3′)=(r3′, r1′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 1 to 3 respectively perform processing according to the following procedure.

The apparatus 1 calculates (s1″, t1″) by (s1″,t1″)=(r1″,s1+s1′ mod p,r2″=t1+t1′ mod p) and stores (s1″, t1″) in a storage thereof, as a share value of w+w′.

The apparatus 2 calculates (s2″, t2″) by (s2″,t2″)=(r2″=s2+s2′ mod p,r3″=t2+t2′ mod p) and stores (s2″, t2″) in a storage thereof, as a share value of w+w′.

The apparatus 3 calculates (s3″, t 3″) by (s3″,t3″)=(r3″=s3+s3′ mod p,r1″=t3+t3′ mod p) and stores (s3″, t3″) in a storage thereof, as a share value of w+w′.

Each computation result of the apparatuses 1 to 3 is a share value of w+w′ that is shared using r1″, r2″ and r3″ which satisfy: w+w′=r1″+r2″+r3″ mod p.

This can be confirmed by r1″+r2″+r3″=(r1+r2+r3)+(r1′+r2′+r3′)=w+w′ mod p.

<Subtraction Processing>

The following describes a subtraction processing executed with respect to sharing of a value w and a value w′ stored in a distributed manner in the apparatus 1, the apparatus 2, and the apparatus 3 by the above described method. It is assumed that w=r1+r2+r3 mod p, and w′=r1′+r2′+r3′ mod p.

The apparatus 1 stores (s1, t1)=(r1, r2) as a share value of w and (s1′, t1′)=(r1′, r2′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 2 stores (s2, t2)=(r2, r3) as a share value of w and (s2′, t2′)=(r2′, r3′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 3 stores (s3, t3)=(r3, r1) as a share value of w and (s3′, t3′)=(r3′, r1′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatuses 1 to 3 respectively perform processing according to the following procedure.

The apparatus 1 calculates (s1″, t1″) by

(s1″, t1″)=(r1″, s1−s1′ mod p, r2″=t1−t1′ mod p) and stores (s1″, t1″), in a storage thereof, as a share value of w−w′.

The apparatus 2 calculates (s2″, t2″) by (s2″, t2″)=(r2″, s2−s2′ mod p, r3″=t2−t2′ mod p) and stores (s2″, t2″), in a storage thereof, as a share value of w−w′.

The apparatus 3 calculates (s3″, t3″) by (s3″, t3″)=(r3″=s3−s3′ mod p, r1″=t3−t3′ mod p) and stores (s3″, t3″), in a storage thereof, as a share value of w−w′.

Each computation result of the apparatuses 1 to 3 is a share value of w−w′ that is shared using r1″, r2″ and r3″ which satisfy: w−w′=r1″+r2″+r3″ mod p.

This can be confirmed by r1″+r2″+r3″=(r1+r2+r3)−(r1′+r2′+r3′)=w−w′ mod p.

<Multiplication Processing>

The following describes a multiplication processing executed with respect to values w and w′ stored in the apparatuses 1, 2, and 3 by the above described method.

First describes what value each apparatus stores. It is assumed that r1 r2 and r3 are randomly selected values that satisfy r1+r2+r3=w mod p, and r1′.r2′, r3′ are randomly selected values that satisfy r1′+r2′+r3′=w′ mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

The apparatus 1 stores (s1, t1)=(r1, r2) as a share value of w and (s1′, t1′)=(r1′, r2′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 2 stores (s2, t2)=(r2, r3) as a share value of w and (s2′, t2′)=(r2′, r3′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatus 3 stores (s3, t3)=(r3, r1) as a share value of w and (s3′, t3′)=(r3′, r1′) as a share value of w′, in a storage thereof.

The apparatuses 1 to 3 respectively perform processing according to the following procedures.

The apparatus 1, apparatus 2 and apparatus 3 are assumed to store respectively r1″, r2″, and r3″ as randomly selected values that satisfy r1″+r2″+r3″=0 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n. r1″, r2″ r3″ that satisfy such a property are required by disposal, each time multiplication is executed. A method for efficiently generating such three values by three apparatuses will be described later.

The apparatus 1 calculates u2=s1 s1′+s1 t1′+t1 s1′+r1″ mod p and sends u2 to the apparatus 2.

The apparatus 2 calculates u3=s2 s2′+s2 t2′+t2 s2′+r2″ mod p and sends u3 to the apparatus 3.

The apparatus 3 calculates u1=s3 s3′+s3 t3′+t3 s3′+r3″ mod p and sends u1 to the apparatus 1.

The apparatus 1 stores (u1, u2), in a storage thereof, as a share value of ww′.

The apparatus 2 stores (u2, u3), in a storage thereof, as a share value of ww′.

The apparatus 3 stores (u3, u1), in a storage thereof, as a share value of ww′.

The following can be confirmed. u1+u2+u3=r1r1′+r1r2′+r2r1′+r2r2′+r2r3′+r3r2′+r3r3′+r3r1′+r1r3′+r1″+r2″+r3″=(r1+r2+r3)(r1′+r2′+r3′)+r1″+r2″+r3″=ww′ mod p.

From the values stored in apparatus 1 and apparatus 2 by using the same computation method, ww′ mod p can be calculated. The same applies to combinations of other apparatuses. According to such a method, the multiplication on w and w′ both shared by using (2, 3) type RSS is executed without reconstructing each value, and a value obtained by sharing of ww′ by applying (2, 3) type RSS can be shared.

<Generation of Random Numbers>

The following describes a method for generating three values, addition of which become 0, without communication among the apparatus 1, the apparatus 2 and the apparatus 3, in large quantities, in such a manner in which a value that the apparatus possess is not known to other apparatuses. Here, a method for generating r[i, 1], r[i, 2], r[i, 3], which satisfy

r[i, 1]+r[i, 2]+r[i, 3]=0 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n, for i=1, . . . , N, where N is a relatively large number, will be described.

Suppose a pseudo random number generator (PRG) outputting an n-bit numeric string with key and index as input is provided. The index may be a counter or the like. This method is described in NPL 3 and the like.

First of all, as a setup process of the apparatus, L1, L2, and L3 which are keys of PRG are generated. Let L1 and L3 be stored in the apparatus 1, L2 and L1 in the apparatus 2 and L3 and L2 in the apparatus 3.

It is assumed that each of the apparatuses 1 to 3 shares an index idx synchronized with a counter or the like.

The apparatus 1 supplies the key L1 and the index idx to the PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, a value of n bits numeric value r′[1]. The apparatus 1 also supplies the key L3 and index idx to the PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, a value of n bits numeric value r′[3]. Then, the apparatus 1 obtains: r[1]=r′[1]-r′[3]mod p.

The apparatus 2 supplies the key L2 and the index idx to the PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, the value of n bits numeric value r′[2]. The apparatus 2 also supplies the key L1 and index idx into PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, a value of n bits numeric value r′[1]. Then, the apparatus 2 obtains: r[2]=r′[2]-r′[1]mod p.

The apparatus 3 supplies the key L3 and the index idx to the PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, n bits numeric value r′[3]. The apparatus 2 also supplies the key L2 and index idx into PRG, and generates, as an output of the PRG, a value of n bits numeric value r′[2]. Then, the apparatus 3 obtains: r[3]=r′[3]-r′[2]mod p.

The following holds: r[1]+r[2]+r[3]=r′[1]−r′[3]+r′[2]−r′[1]+r[3]−r[2]=0 mod p.

All N sets satisfy the above condition.

Focusing attention on the value: r[1]=r′[1]−r′[3] mod p that is generated by the apparatus 1, the apparatus 3 cannot obtain r′[1], and the apparatus 2 cannot obtain r′[3].

From this, it can be seen that the apparatus 2 and the apparatus 3 cannot calculate r[1]. The same may be said to r[2] and r[3].

As long as the setup process has been completed, the above process can be executed, even before the computation is performed, for example.

In the above described secure computation using the (2, 3) type RSS, if p=2, multiplication can be regarded as AND (logical product) processing and addition/subtraction can be regarded as exclusive OR processing. Thus, when p=2, it may be said that the above computation is secure computation suited to logic operation. Also, assuming that all items of share information of the apparatuses 1 to 3 are (1, 1), (1, 1), and (1, 1), these becomes share information of a value 1, with r1=1, r2=1, and r3=1, thereby forming a complete system with a logical product, an exclusive OR, and a constant 1 to allow arbitrary operation to be executed.

The above method is described in NPL 1 and the like. Various variations can be adopted as such a method. For example, regarding r1+r2+r3=w mod p, (r1−r2 mod p, r2), (r2−r3 mod p, r3), and (r3−r1 mod p, r1), may be used as share information. A scheme in which 3 apparatuses each hold information corresponding to two different sets out of r1, r2, and r3 may be called as (2, 3) type RSS.

Regarding RSS, an arbitrary operation can be processed by using (2, 3) type RSS with p=2. However, since it is inefficient to execute all processing with logical operation, such an operation that can be configured by multiplication and addition had better to be performed by secure computation using (2, 3) type RSS with p set to a larger value.

In addition, there are cases where it is desirable to combine numerical operation and logical operation. As an example, in a case of receiving a, b and c as inputs and processing a*b mod 2{circumflex over ( )}4<c, with a, b, and c being smaller than 2{circumflex over ( )}4 (where {circumflex over ( )} is a power operator), it is desirable to process a*b as a numerical operation, and to process comparison operation as a logical operation. Although it is desirable to compute a*b as a numerical operation, it is difficult to express the process of comparing a*b with c as a numerical operation.

In order to solve such a problem, a process called bit decomposition described in NPL 2 is known. Bit decomposition is a process for converting share information for numerical computation into share information for logical operation.

It is assumed that sharing of a value w=5 is performed by (2, 3) type RSS using p=8, and the apparatus 1 stores (1, 2), the apparatus 2 stores (2, 2) and the apparatus 3 stores (2, 1).

By using bit decomposition, from these items of information, it is possible to obtain share information for each bit of 1, 0, and 1, of a binary representation of 5 (=101).

More specifically, after bit decomposition is performed, the apparatus 1 possesses (1, 1) for the first bit, (0, 1) for the second bit, (1, 0) for the third bit, and (0, 0) for the fourth bit.

The apparatus 2 possesses (1, 1) for the first bit, (1, 1) for the second bit, (0, 0) for the third bit, and (0, 0) for the fourth bit.

The apparatus 3 possesses (1, 1) for the first bit, (1, 0) for the second bit, (0, 0) for the third bit, and (0, 0) for the fourth bit.

The following describes the outline of the method described in NPL 2, as a related technique regarding bit decomposition. This method performs bit decomposition in the following procedure.

It is assumed that a value to be decomposed is shared by using r1, r2, and r3 which satisfy r=r1+r2+r3 mod p NPL 2 uses a Mersenne prime number represented by p=2{circumflex over ( )}n−1. Properties of a Mersenne prime number contribute to efficient computation of s in step 2.

<Procedure 1>

Execute sharing of r12=r1+r2 mod p, and r3.

<Procedure 2>

Determine whether or not r12+r3 is greater than p, and execute secure computation, such that s=1, if r12+r3 is greater than p, and s=0 otherwise.

<Procedure 3>

Execute secret computation of r12+r3+s mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n by a full adder for each bit from a lower digit.

According to the method of NPL 2, there is description that bit decomposition can be performed by communication amount of 10n+4 bits, assuming that p is a number of n bits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Example embodiments will be described with reference to drawings. According to the method of the above described NPL 2, sharing of r3 is performed in the above described Procedure 1. A method for executing this processing without communication will be described.

Suppose that sharing of a value is performed by using r1, r2, and r3 satisfying r=r1+r2+r3 mod p as shares.

When generating shares related to ri (i=1, 2, 3) satisfying r=r1+r2+r3 mod p, the value obtained by setting all the values to zero other than a portion relating ri of share information of r=r1+r2+r3 mod p is the share information of ri.

Suppose that the apparatus 1 retains (r2, r3), the apparatus 2 retains (r3, r1), and the apparatus 3 retains (r1, r2).

For example, if all other than a portion relating to r1 are set to zero, the apparatus 1 will possess (0, 0), the apparatus 2 will possess (0, r1), and the apparatus 3 will possess (r1, 0), which can be made share information of r1.

The fact that the apparatuses 2 and 3 retain r1 itself has no influence on confidentiality. This is because they are values that can be grasped originally. Similarly, for r2 and r3, the share information can be obtained without communicating among apparatuses.

The reason that s is added in the above described Procedure 3, i.e., r12+r3+s mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n, according to the method according to NPL 2, is to obtain r12+r3 mod p, by the secret computation of mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

In the case of s=1, if r12+r3=r′+p, where p=2{circumflex over ( )}n−1, then the following holds: r12+r3+s mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n=r′+p+1 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n=r′+2{circumflex over ( )}n mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n=r′ mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

In the case of s=0, if it is assumed that r12+r3=r′, then r12+r3+s mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n=r′ mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

From above, irrespective of the value of s, the computation result of the above described Procedure 3 is r12+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

However, if 2 n is used as p, the processing (the above described Procedure 2) that is executed when r12+r3 exceeds 2{circumflex over ( )}n is unnecessary.

<Modes>

The following describes the bit decomposition method with the above described modification added as one of modes of the present invention.

<Procedure 1>

Execute sharing of r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

<Procedure 2>

Generate share of r3 on each apparatus.

<Procedure 3>

Execute secret computation of a full adder for each bit from a lower digit to compute r12+r3+s mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

The following evaluates a communication amount of the above processing.

Let r1, r2, and r3 satisfying w=r1+r2+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n be randomly selected and be stored as follows.

(r1, r2) is stored as a share value of w in the apparatus 1.

(r2, r3) is stored as a share value of w in the apparatus 2.

(r3, r1) is stored as a share value of w in the apparatus 3.

<Communication Amount of Procedure 1>

Distribution of r1+r2 is performed by the apparatus 1. First, the apparatus 1 computes r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n and randomly selects r12A and r12B satisfying r12A+r12B=r12 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n.

Next, the apparatus 1 sends r12A and 12B to the apparatus 2 and the apparatus 3, respectively.

At this time, the apparatus 1 obtains (r12B, r12A) as a share value of r12,

the apparatus 2 obtains (r12A, 0) as a share value of r12, and

the apparatus 3 obtains (0, r12B) as a share value of r12.

In this process, 2n bit communication is performed.

<Communication Amount of Procedure 2>

As described above, share information of r3 can be generated without communication.

<Communication Amount of Procedure 3>

The secure computation of an full adder requires one AND operation to calculate carry of each digit. Therefore, in the case of addition of n digits, communication of 3*(n−1) bits is required.

As a result, it can be seen that the bit decomposition can be calculated with the communication amount of 5n−3 bits. The following describes an example for explaining how to divide the computation result into bit units by processing of an adder.

The computation process of decomposition with be described for p=8, r=6 (110 in binary representation), r1=3 (011 in binary representation), r2=2 (010 in binary representation), r3=1 (001 in binary representation).

Let j-th digit of r_i from a lowest digit be ri_j, j-th digit of r1r2 mod 8 be r12_j, and j-th digit of r1+r2+r3 mod 8 be r123_j.

Next, a procedure for computing r12+r3 mod 8=5+1 mod 8=6 from the lowest digit will be described. <First Digit>

Computation of the first digit is as follows: r123_1=r12_1 XOR r3_1=0 XOR 1 XOR 1=0,

where XOR is a bitwise exclusive OR.

Carry with respect to the computation of the first digit is as follows: c1=r12_1 AND r3_1=1 AND 1=1 (In the first digit, there is no carry (carry) from a lower digit.) <Second Digit>

Computation of the second digit is as follows: r123_2=r12_2 XOR r3_2 XOR c1=0 XOR 0 XOR 1=1

Carry with respect to the computation of the second digit is as follows: c2=c1 XOR (1 XOR r12_2 XOR r3_2) AND (r3_2 XOR c1)=1 XOR (1 XOR 0 XOR 0) AND (0 XOR 1)=0 <Third Digit>

Computation of the third digit is as follows: r123_3=r12_3 XOR r2_3 XOR c2=1 XOR 0 XOR 0=1

As described above, it is possible to compute the value obtained by decomposing each digit bit by bit, with one AND processing, as with 123_1=0, r123_2=1, and r123_3=1. This process can be executed by secure computation. The result of the secure computation is a share value of the value obtained by decomposition for each bit.

In the above case, as (2, 3) threshold type RSS,

the apparatus 1 holds (r1, r2),

the apparatus 2 holds (r2, r3), and

the apparatus 3 holds (r3, r1), with the value w given as follows: w=r1+r2+r3 mod p.

However, the present invention is applicable as long as it is a (2, 3) threshold type RSS that holds information corresponding to two different values among three values of r1, r2, and r3. For example, the apparatus 2 may hold (r2+r3, r3) instead of (r2, r3), or even a method can me also implemented in which the apparatus 2 holds (r2−r3, r2+r3), and so forth, as long as a secure computation is equipped with addition, multiplication and constant.

Alternatively, at first, r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n is calculated by secure computation, and then operation on r12+r3 may be executed by secure computation a full adder. When using this method, the communication amount for calculating r12 is 3n bits, which is rather inefficient as compared with a case where the apparatus 1 distributes, but the total communication amount is 6n−3 bits.

When computation of r1+r2 is performed by secure computation of a full adder, there is no need to perform computation for a carry generated from the most significant digit, so computation on r12 can be executed by a communication amount of 3 n−3 bit. In this case, it is possible to execute bit decomposition with the communication amount of 6n−6 bits.

These variations are also more efficient than the method according to NPL 2.

Also, if both processing (r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n and r12+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n) are to be executed using secure computation of a full adder, it is possible to use a mechanism for giving tolerance against fraud on the secure computation method using (2, 3) type RSS as described in NPL 3.

Furthermore, it is also possible to create share information for a combined value from bit decomposed share information. Carry computation for each carry from a low order digit to a high order digit is executed by secure computation and when carry computation for the entire digits is finished, the secure computation result of each digit are combined.

In this method, since there is no subject (party) holding information equivalent to r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n, both r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n, and r12+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n are computed by secure computation of a full adder.

When computation of the full adder is executed sequentially from a lower digit, n−1 AND operations are generated. As a result, the number of times of communication is n−1. In order to reduce this number, a carry save adder may be used, in which the number of AND operations increases but a depth of the circuit can be made shallow.

EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

Configuration and operation of a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Example Embodiment 1

In the first embodiment, when sharing of w is performed by a (2, 3) type RSS scheme using r1, r2, and r3 which are randomly selected to satisfy w=r1+r2+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n, one apparatus distributes r12=r1+r2 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n and executes r12+r3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n by using secure computation of a full adder, thereby generating bit decomposed share information.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an arrangement of the first example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , a bit decomposition secure computing system 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a share value storage apparatus 100 that stores share values obtained by applying (2, 3) type RSS using 2{circumflex over ( )}n as p, a decomposed share value storage apparatus 200 that stores bit decomposed share information, and a bit decomposition secure computation apparatus 300 that reads share values stored in the share value storage apparatus 100 and stores bit decomposed values in the decomposed share value storage apparatus 200.

In the first example embodiment, there are provided three sets of apparatuses, wherein the apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 in FIG. 1 constitute one set. That is, there are provided three sets of the systems 10. The apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 or any two apparatuses selected from the apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 may be arranged in one unit, or may be arranged in a distributed manner wherein, for example, at least between the apparatuses 100 and 200 and between the apparatuses 200 and 300, there may be provided one or more communication paths such as local area network (LAN) and/or wide area network (WAN). Note that in FIG. 1 , arrowed lines between the apparatuses 100 and 300 and between the apparatuses 300 and 200 each only indicate an example of data flow. The communications between the apparatuses 100 and 300 and between the apparatuses 300 and 200 are as a matter of course not limited to the direction of the arrowed line. The same can be said in later-described other embodiments.

The share value storage apparatus 100 includes a first share value storage unit 101 and a second share value storage unit 102. The first share value storage unit 101 and the second share value storage unit 102 store respectively share values (first share and second share) in such a way that it can be understood which values out of the three values used for generating share information by the (2, 3) type RSS scheme are used and how the values are processed to obtain the stored share value.

The addition sharing unit 301, using two indices out of the three values constituting share information by (2, 3) type RSS, as inputs, reads share value(s) stored in the share value storage apparatus 100. If the share value storage apparatus 100 stores share values of both two indices, the addition sharing unit 301 generates share information by the (2, 3) type RSS with respect to a sum of the share values of the two indices and sends the generated share information to the addition sharing units 301 of other two apparatuses (not shown).

The partial share information extraction unit 302, using one index out of the three values constituting share information by (2, 3) type RSS scheme, as input, reads the value stored in the share value storage apparatus 100, and generates share information obtained by setting values to zero except for one of the three values constituting the share information by (2, 3) type RSS scheme.

It is assumed that in the share value storage apparatus 100, share values that are shared with the (2, 3) type RSS by using r_1, r_2, and r_3 satisfying r=r_1+r_2+r_3 mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n are stored.

In the operation of the first example embodiment, r_ij=r_i+r_j mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n is shared, and addition of r_ij and r_k is executed by secure computation of a full adder.

The following processing is executed by 3 sets of share value storage apparatuses 100, decomposed share value storage apparatuses 200, and bit decomposition secure computation apparatuses 300.

First, each addition sharing unit 301 decides whether or not the share value storage apparatus 100 associated with the bit decomposition secure computation apparatus 300 stores information on r_i and r_j. When stored, each addition sharing unit 301 computes r_ij=r_i+r_j mod 2{circumflex over ( )}n and then sends the computed result to the addition sharing unit 301 of the other two bit decomposition secure computation apparatuses 300. After that, each addition sharing unit 301 outputs the share information of r_ij (Step A1).
